Volunteer Awards
Pender Harbour and Area Community Volunteer Awards
Presented by the Pender Harbour and Area Residents Association and the Rotary Club of Pender Harbour
As a community, Pender Harbour runs on the efforts of volunteers. Most of our community services involve volunteers as part of the organization and most of the wonderful things that happen in the community are the result of countless hours of volunteer labour. This award is about recognizing the value of volunteers to our community and honoring specific people or organizations, who, as volunteers, have contributed to significant improvements in the quality of our community. We would like to thank the Rotary Club of Pender Harbour for their generous support for and sponsorship of this award.
